Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

I expect that thread's going to be about as useful as the other forty-nine million times the topic's been discussed here, it'll be a battle between the people with a uselessly narrow definition and the people with a uselessly broad one. Y'all have fun.

Yes, much like that other blight on the forum that somehow remains open.

Unrelated - That was an easy snap ignore. Goodbye.

Discussions of game design do not have an allowance for the concept of "fun".

I wish that statement was a joke. But once you come to terms with it, that realization will really help put a lot of those conversations in context.

A garbage dump is a neither a blight nor a shrine, it's a method to keep the garbage separate from the places where we don't want it. The more you don't like what's inside, the more important the function it serves.

Also, while I know there's some gross stuff inside, sometimes my curiosity compels me to hunt for buried treasures inside.

This is a good perspective, I just wish I could hide the threads without ignoring the OP.

Why does Karl Marx only drink infusions?

Spoiler

Because he thinks that proper tea is theft.

Karl Marx tends to randomly set my brain onto this song.

Oh, right. That's why you were on my ignore list. Back you go.

In particular, if you don't know anything about a subject, you neither have to present an opinion without information, nor even do the investigation (I'd say "research" but in this context that term has been middlin' poisoned) to form one in most case. I've backed out of more than one conversation saying "I don't know anything more than I've heard in passing about that, so I have no useful opinion".

Exactly. We need that thread for the same reason we need landfills: the garbage has to go somewhere, or else it will be everywhere.
